Broke Back Mountain???

Ted is going to kill me for the title but I just couldn't resist. I love you Ted! Every September Ted goes on a back packing trip with his high school friend Loren and his brothers. They pack back into the deep Uinta mountains, or so they thought. This trip they got out a GPS after hiking to their favorite destination and saw they were only 60 miles from Salt Lake City. They really rough it though, in the past Ted has just taken a tarp and basically slept under that. But this year he took a tent. They camp near a lake and fish for dinner. Of course they do take some food just incase the fish aren't bitting. Ted had a small accident with the fish hook... he had to cut the hook and pull it through his thumb. He took a picture because he was pretty proud. They also had a very wet day when it rained all day. Ted said he just sat under a tree and every once in awhile he'd throw a rock up to make all the water fall from the branches. Then he could sit there for awhile longer. When he got too cold he made a huge fire for everyone to get warm. I guess the tents are only used for sleep; and not a reasonable place to stay out of the rain. I am glad that Ted has the time to get away from work and go to the mountains. It is his most favorite place to be. If we lived in the old west I am sure we'd be mountain dwellers.
